Ten Years and Still Going
After ten years of writing here, what have I learned? Not that much really, but it has been fun and that is the main reason.

March Madness, Taxes, Friday the 13th and #BestOfThisWeek
March Madness is not the only thing that can happen in March, there is also Tax preparation, and hoping for snow to melt too!
Illness, K-Cups, Interest Rates and #BestOfThisWeek
Back in 2015 interest rates fluctuated little and usually only went down, ah for those heady days? Many other good finance stories, as well.
Saint David’s Day and #RandomThoughts
Hope everyone is enjoying the festive last week of RRSP season and for those who enjoy getting that last-minute Income Tax break buzz, you have until Monday next week to get your last minute RRSP contributions in place, to get a break on your 2014 taxes. As I mentioned this week, maybe we should have this kind of excitement for TFSAs? It’s not necessary as the limits carry forward for you (another reason to like the TFSA more than the RRSP).
Sunday is Saint David’s Day for my Welsh brethren. Wales plays France on Saint David’s Eve, let us hope for a festive win to help usher in this happy day. Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus.

I gave blood again this week, and due to a small pimple on my regular “giving arm” I gave with my right arm this time. Always an exciting time, but it worked just fine, and I can now feel pious for Lent, knowing I helped someone out. Have you given blood lately? If you can, why not?
The Rideau Canal has set a record for a number of days open this year. We in Ottawa hope it won’t still be open in May.
My Writings for Week Ending February 27th
I did enjoy the festive feel for this final week of RRSPs, and my twitter feed was peppered with useful RRSP commentaries :
- Didn’t hear if anyone used my RRSP Bingo card for their RRSP purchases, I hope someone had fun with it.
- What order do you do your savings RRSP then TFSA ? I have a different idea, but if you are a regular reader you can guess my point of view on this.

Lent Begins, Freezing Temps, Apples and RRSP and #BestOfThisWeek
Lent began in 2015 with colder temperatures, and also it was the start of RRSP season for some folks, although they are not as in vogue.
